For those of you that aren't auction people, the true test of an auctioneer isn't how fast he can chant, but how much he can get you to pay. Notice how he breaks into the chant, and gives some empty space and a few jokes. This guy is GOOD.
A Damn Good Auctioneer. The Better the AUCTIONEER interacts with the BUYERS the SELLERS MAKE MORE MONEY.... He is from a dying breed.... Loved the Video
This brings back a lot to me, I lived right across the road (557) back when John Andrews was the Auctioneer, Those were the good old days. I sure thought Steve or Scott would be there.
@NORTHWOODSPREPPER1 (Mennonite here) everyone on stage is Amish (by appearance). But it varies so much and there are "transition stages" :) between the two names so it can be difficult to tell. I'll call someone Amish and some1's like, "ahem, 'amish-mennonite.'" Fine.
What funny is I was at an auction just like this. The final bid was down to nickels and dimes and it went like that for a while it was a hot run the whole place Held their breath until the end. I wish I could remember the auctioneer because he would do that if he knew it would get it sold without running it out to long, unless it was making for a good time. I remember one item went to like 3,000 and then he went dollar at a time till it sold lol. Everyone had a good time
i don't know Andy (apparently that is this fella's name) but man oh man can he ever chant...i grew up going to auctions 3 or 4 nights a week ...everything from just flea market junk to livestock and farm equipment..i know a good chant when i hear it ...Andy could sell ice water to a eskimo...he has honed his chant to perfection
I worked as a spotter at many auctions. This guy does okay but it depends on the crowd. I worked with a guy that was fast but you had to listen close to keep up with him. I've also worked for guys that made you think of blowing raspberries.
He is, by far the best of the best!! He involves the audience so much you cannot help buy love it! I cannot wait until the "auction season" starts again. I'm going to try to get an even better video this year to post. He "makes" the auction!
Uh oh, I'm in trouble. I have to bid on produce (I'm from the area) and I can' understand a word. Will have to use a 'buyer' and pay him til I get used to it or I'll be buying something for way more than I intended, lol
I can't wait till Summer comes so we can once again hear Andy!!! He's the best of the best!!!!! No kidding, if you see him once, you'll be SOLD on him!
Honestly, I have no problem understanding him completely. He's just GOOD, no he's GREAT!!!!! He does throw some entertainment in there too, which in my opinion makes him even better!
When Andy is up in our area, we go to his auction. Its worth going even if your not going bid on anything. The part when he joke around in Pennsylvania Dutch. I can't translate fast enough to catch the joke.

He’s a born salesman
been to a number of Andy's auctions... he is real, a gentleman, great to be around, runs a tight crew. i have bought and sold w/him, always a pleasure
Well said!
Andy is one of the best auctioneers I have ever heard. I love the way he engages the audience, bidders, and how clear he speaks.
Exactly!
He’s definitely smooth for sure, does he sell cattle ?
Dang! Someone has honed their craft quite handsomely.
Heard him in person a few time. Definitely one of the better auctioneers in ohio.
one of the best in ohio
Auctioneer here in Texas. This guy is one of the best chants working the crowd.
I have heard Andy Raber several times and he is the best auctioneer ever!
Run away Amish kid ...I like Les Longnecker
You must have lot of horses so far.: )
A Damn Good Auctioneer. The Better the AUCTIONEER interacts with the BUYERS the SELLERS MAKE MORE MONEY.... He is from a dying breed.... Loved the Video
Yes he sure is!!! Thanks and I can't wait to get to another auction of his soon!
Watch your mouth. This is a kid friendly video.
Good chant and good crowd rapport. The two things a successful auctioneer needs!
I'm not an Auctioneer, but I truly believe Andy is one of the best of the best!
0:34 "New fire broke out!" That's awesome.
Every time I see auctioneers, I always think, "Dude, cut back on the caffeine!" But I get it.
Pretty sure they don't do caffeine, to be honest with you.....that's just Andy. He's the greatest!
@@rweverett I'm sure they don't either. I was just having a little fun there. Nothing but respect for these folks. I could never do that.
@@jaytc3218 thanks so much for the clarification! It's very appreciated!
Coco cc
First thing I think is, the wife must love him.
One of the best i have ever heard auctioneer...People need to realize the entertainment value of this art and he has it
You are EXACTLY correct! He makes the auctions when he is there!!!!
This brings back a lot to me, I lived right across the road (557) back when John Andrews was the Auctioneer, Those were the good old days. I sure thought Steve or Scott would be there.
I could listen to him All day long
Love his style and showmanship !
Very nice chant! Like his style
He's extraordinary. Love it!
I didn't realize the Amish had a sense of humour!
Yes, very much so in the "right" scenario!!!!! This guy is the best of the best!!!!
NORTHWOODSPREPPER1 lol what’s the diff?
@NORTHWOODSPREPPER1 he is amish ..
@NORTHWOODSPREPPER1 no, they're definitely Amish. Believe me, we go to all these auctions and they're not Mennonites.

That's a fine auctioneering :)
I think that I'd asked the audience to give that buyer a round of applause
i don't know Andy (apparently that is this fella's name) but man oh man can he ever chant...i grew up going to auctions 3 or 4 nights a week ...everything from just flea market junk to livestock and farm equipment..i know a good chant when i hear it ...Andy could sell ice water to a eskimo...he has honed his chant to perfection
He is one of the BEST ever as far as I'm concerned! It's such a pleasure to sit at his auctions!
I have always enjoyed going to auction
Humour is always appreciated!
Just sold an epic amish made furniture suite...next thing is a lawn ornament "Hey, whadda ya got here" lol
This guy is very good !! Now if I could only do this lol
looks like scene from (oh brother where art thou) lol
Former Auctioneer...Andy is a lyrical legend
The guys in the back look ecstatic of how much money they're making. I love it lol
Because it all goes to a school for the children to learn and have what they need.
That was 2:31 of my life well spent!
That's great to hear!!!! Thank you!!!
Anyone can talk fast to end a conversation to make it to the restroom in time
U r Awesome!! U r the best auctioneer ever!!!
Magnifico lenguaje vocal y corporal.muy bueno.

I always think of the song " Life Is A Rock" when I hear an auctioneer's call.
Andy Is one of the greatest in the world! 🔥 👄
I can't wait to see him in action soon!!!!
Me explaining to my Mechanic what sound my car is making

I love the pauses
Outstanding 👍👍👍
I like his flow !
YUUUP ! this guy is good
I'm going to learn this, then use it at the grocery self-serve checkout. ;-)
I'd love to learn how to do it like him, he's the best!
Good luck. That is years of training. This guy is a 9 th Dan master.
I worked as a spotter at many auctions. This guy does okay but it depends on the crowd. I worked with a guy that was fast but you had to listen close to keep up with him. I've also worked for guys that made you think of blowing raspberries.
Ok? Hell, he's the best!
This was actually pretty entertaining
1:09 I love how even the translations can't even handle it. lol
He is, by far the best of the best!! He involves the audience so much you cannot help buy love it! I cannot wait until the "auction season" starts again. I'm going to try to get an even better video this year to post. He "makes" the auction!
You are good.Thank you Sir.
Nicely done.
Amish Andy is certainly good!
I want to learn how to do this just to be around the house
God bless the good ol state of Ohio.
I’d be doing the beats on the side of the stage 😂😂🤣
This guy makes more sense thab anything in these days.
And he's so good at it!
Great job Andy
hes lifting the tent, you see?
good job
Uh oh, I'm in trouble. I have to bid on produce (I'm from the area) and I can' understand a word. Will have to use a 'buyer' and pay him til I get used to it or I'll be buying something for way more than I intended, lol
Once you get used to him, it's rather easy, honestly. He's the best of the best!
Never ask him how his day went.
Imagine him getting caught cheating and he talks like this to his wife and she's like EF it I forgive you.
I wonder if he can do it in german
Sir i only want to buy a table
I love this
You like this watch the 2017 wlac

I’m pretty sure we have a new rap god 😅
Btw my reading teacher played this vid for an example of what our vocabulary word auction 😂
That's great!!!
amish are allowed to use microphones and speakers?
everything is run by a generator so I'm under the impression it's ok. If it were electric, I'd guess NO. Even the mic has batteries in it.
Yes
Helluva Auctioneer!
Agreed, one of the best!!!! He makes the audience "want" to bid and be a part of his auction!!!!!! He's one of the best around here!
Who invented this?
Otroligt :)
👍👍
Deeeeeeooooowwwwwww naaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiii
Thats personality !
That's why he's one of the best in our area, when it comes to Amish auctions! He's the best of the best!
Awsome
What is he selling?
I think it was a table and benches.
Weed
I’m at work crying bro
He's good, there's no doubt about it!
Insane talent lol I’d hate to get into an argument with that guy
Anyone know how to hire Andt?
Andy Raber Auctions, but not sure of the number.
Yyess

1:53
He "makes" the Auctions well worth attending!!!!!!
Good rapper
Good auctioneer.
He's good
observation: He probably easts as good as he sounds. Good 'ol Aim-'ish cookin.
It's some of the finest! It's nice to live close, we often hit the Amish restaurants.......nothing can beat the Amish cooking!
What is He saying?
Heck, I have no problem understanding!
This guy's good
I can't wait till Summer comes so we can once again hear Andy!!! He's the best of the best!!!!! No kidding, if you see him once, you'll be SOLD on him!
Awesome
Best at 0.25
This guy is good!
He truly is and makes any auction well worth going!
I thought amish cant use tech
Apparently, the Amish can use the microphone and speakers as long as they're hooked up to a generator, which they were.
Oh did not know that
Some denominations of Amish are aloud to use battery operated power tools
As long as it is for there job
Not many of these people can be understood, thereir are the good or just entertaining
Honestly, I have no problem understanding him completely. He's just GOOD, no he's GREAT!!!!! He does throw some entertainment in there too, which in my opinion makes him even better!
Anyone know how to hire Andy?
He must be listed somehow under Andy Raber Auctions, but I don't know if he does anything but Amish auctions?
👍

too bad he doesn't drink red bull
